Organisation

Counties are led by a County Commissioner (who is appointed by the Chief Scout), who is supported by a team of Assistant County Commissioners and an Executive Committee.

Counties are themselves divided into Districts. The average County will have around 10 Districts, and around 3,900 members (of which 3,150 are under 18).[1]

Counties are responsible for the provision of the Scout Network, as well as supporting all Scouting activities within their member Districts.
